Extreme dosing, Stress doses

I started uping my doses of Cortef because I couldn't get my temps up at all. I was staying at 97. 2 +- .
I then in turn am increasing my Armour. I am at 4 3/4 grain right now. I just cant believe I have to take this much but I cant stop now. Until I optimise I can really go into Hypothyroidism and its symptoms, big time! Its like once you start you cant stop midway in the process.

I am at 98 temp today, Yippee! At least I'm not having the shortness of breath. I really think this is due to the stress dosing of Cortef. When I feel it coming on, I take 5 mg.

New Dosing

I started a new Dosing plan due to the side effects which consisted of shortness of breath and shakiness.
It was recommended to me by other suffers on the forum at "Stop the Thyroid Madness.com." I am ready to throw in the towel but I am in a postiton that it is a must I do something for the betterment of my health. I'm gaining too much weight ! It can't be good on my heart and it sure doesn't help to eat hardly nothing at all and gain weight. Something went down hill; I need more medication and due to alot of stress!

The sufferings over the years- diagnoses

I feel I need to express my desire to share what I've learned from my studies and hours of research on the Internet, due to the fact that I still DID NOT FEEL WELL even though I was being treated for thyroid disease by the conventional way. The main stream medical remedy for thyroid disease. I was put on a medicine that was a chemically produced T4 know as Synthyroid. It was a low dose to begin with and after a few years of being on that , I crashed, basically I ended up with Hashimotas Disease. What I want to focus on right now is the facts that I presented to the doctors all the time, of not feeling well. I gained weight easily, I was so tired , I struggled every day with depression , was put on an anti depressants, but really to no avail.

I've had been diagnosed with :
Hashimotas Disease
Carproal Tunnel Syndrome- both hands operated on
TMJ- A jaw pain
Arthritis
I was told I was getting older
Low Libido
Perimenapausal
Low grade depression
Ovarian cyst
Breast cysts
Psoriasis
Heel spurs
Ganglion Cysts on foot-surgery
3 Cesarean Section Childbirths
Tonsillectomy -immflamed tonsils
Hemorrhoids-surgery
Edema
IBS- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Candidia
Sinus drainage
High Cholesterol
Adrenal Fatigue
I had a head Injury as a child
Low blood pressure
Exzema



Ive suffered:
Sever depression
PMS
Heavy Menes- severe cramping
Weight gain
Aches and pains in the lower back
Mental anguish- doom and gloom
Low temps
Low Blood pressure
Diminished vision
Mental fog
Cant read
Fatigue
Hair loss-unable to hold a permanent
Feet hurting- 2 foot surgeries
Cysts- painful
Edema- Water retention-red faced, bloating
Unable to withstand heat
Hot flashes
Cannot hold Chiropratic adjustments
Dental deterioration

When I look back, I cant believe some of the things I suffered could have been avoided had I had the correct amount of thyroid medicine, as well as the proper kind.

I do not suffer some of these things today since I started natural thyroid medicine with increases.

I do not :
Ache, my breast cysts have diminished, my psoriasis is gone, the fog has lifted, I'm reading again, my feet don't hurt, the depression is gone. I have'nt any stomach or bowel problems at all, no candida, I don't suffer colds or have sinus drainage! I do not have TMJ.

The things I suffer with right now are weight gain, edema, low temperatures, low blood pressure. This seems more of an Adrenal problem than that of thyroid.

Set Backs

To much dismay , I enter a new log with doubt about my new regiment. I have gained another pound or two and am up to 167. I feel it is water weight gain, edema, from the thyroid. I have a low blood pressure and a high pulse rate of 92 at times. My adrenals are really down. Im now going to be using b12 injections every other week now. Im taking 4 grains armour, 30 mg of Cortef, through out the day. I am use the blood typing diet . I also started progestrogen cream to once / twice a day. I dont know , I am baffled.
